ny, Philadelphia publishers; cloth 81 25
This is very pretty story and can hardly
fail to be popular with girls, for whom it is
intended. 1t is not story full of exciting
and blood-curdling incidents, but it is inter
esting, having a good plot, a lively CONVEX
satlonal style and a purpose which gradually
reveals itself as the story progresses.
FEDERAL TAXES AND STATE EXPENSES. BY Will
liam H. Jones, G. P. Putnam & Sons, New
York, publishers.
The author in this volume presents some
interesting thoughts on the decay of
separate State power of excise under the
Federal constitution, and the compensation
therein provided for it; and the relation of
the general civil administration under
separate State authority, to the general
welfare of the United States under the
Federal autonomy. He says he was Sin
huenced in the beginning of his work by the
high rate of State taxes on property valua-
tions for the State and local expenses of the
civil administration, and that Ibis efforts
were long directed to the vain attempt to
secure remedy for the difficulty by har-
monizing State and Federal cooperation
over the subjects Of State taxation"
IsHMAEL; or, In the Depths By Mrs. Emma D.
E N; Southworth, with portrait of Mrs South
worth. t. B. Peterson & Bros, Philadelphia
publishers Bound in Morocco cloth, black
and gold. Price 81 so.
This is Mrs. Southworth's last and by many
considered her best work. The life of
''Ishmael WORTH" as here portrayed, is a
guiding star to youth, to show them that
there is no depth of human misery from
which they may not, by virtue energy and
perseverance, rise to earthly honors, as well
as eternal glory. lin the depths he was
born indeed-in the very depths of poverty,
misery and humiliation. But through his
aspirations and endeavors, he raised him
self to the summit of fame. He was good
as well as great. His goodness won the love
of all who knew him intimately. His great
ness gained the homage of the world. His
identity will be recognized by those who
were familiar with his early personal his
tory; but for obvious reasons, says the
author, his real name must be yelled under
a fictitious one in the volume"

low the high standard which he has set for
himself in his previous historical writing:
his admirable article on ''The First Century
of the Constitution" in which he points out
the indebtedness of the trainers of the con-
stitution to the work already done by the
States, is a model of clearnesS and compre-
hensiveness. A ringing plea is that by
